Mike Doughty - Frog And Banjo Lyrics
There are many sad things,Like a child drowning in a vat of molasses,(How would a child end up in a vat of molasses?...)Or if you were to lose the phone number of someone you find intriguing,(I'm sure it's in the laundry...)Or a phone that keeps ringing and ringing and ringing and no one willAnswer,(?...)Sad like a zero on the LED display of your answering machine,(Saaad... That's a very melancholy numeral.)Sad like a photograph of your grandfather at the age of twenty-seven,But I believe, and I believe strongly,(He's trying to make a point here...)There is nothing sadder thanA frog plucking a banjo.(Frooogg...)That's about as sad as you can be,A frog plucking a banjo.Let us contemplate the sadness,(?...)Of a banjo playing frog,Let us examine the sadness,It's extremely sad,(When the banjo is plucked by the frog...)Frog playing a banjo.(Frog plucking a banjo...)Is the frog aware that he is sad?(I believe that he is aware...)Well, I'm not so sure you're correct about that.(Why is that?)I really--don't--think a frog that plays a banjo is quite so self-aware.(I beliiieeevvee...)Is there anything quite so sad?(A froooggg playing a banjo...)
